The Purdue Psychology Treatment and Research Clinics (PPTRC) serve the needs of Greater Lafayette and surrounding areas by providing high-quality assessment, therapy and psychoeducational services at affordable prices. The PPTRC is a training clinic for graduate students in the Clinical Psychological Sciences Program of the Department of Psychological Sciences. All services are provided by qualified graduate-level student clinicians who are supervised by licensed psychologists from the Psychological Sciences graduate program. As a training clinic, we have specific requirements and limitations for training our students, which can sometimes mean that we may not be able to take on particular cases or types of problems.
Information you share is held in the strictest confidence. Purdue Psychology Treatment and Research Clinics follow confidentiality guidelines consistent with professional and ethical standards as well as state and federal law. Please note that if the client is over 18 we MUST speak with the client to initiate the screening process.
We strive to create a safe, inclusive and affirming environment for all clients and staff. We hold a deliberately broad conceptualization of multiculturalism and diversity, with an effort to honor all the identities a person may hold, including racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious and spiritual beliefs, immigration and acculturation status, ability status, socioeconomic status, military service, and more. Culturally competent care is a cornerstone of our practice and of the clinicians’ training. All clinicians complete a separate course in multicultural education and diversity topics, and many of them are also actively engaged with the Psychological Sciences Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee as well as other committees and research projects focused on anti-racism, inclusive practices and prejudice reduction.
